What the petition asks

Stop Leaving Disabled People Behind!

We Feel, We Do Not Matter To Society.

Support us, so we can contribute towards society, as that is what we ultimately want to do, including:
- The Equality Act needs to have harsher punishment towards people committing discrimination & hate crimes against disabled people, within the employment sector, the education system, the welfare system, healthcare and community
- Stop cutting disability benefits,
- Make it easier for genuine disabled people to claim.
- Increase support into employment.
- Fund more Mental Health Services for disabled people not just young people.
